(i) In cubic unit cell, the atom present at corner is shared by eight simple cubic unit cells from which four are situated towards lower end and four are situated towards upper end. So actually only \(\frac { 1 }{ 8}\) part of each constituent particle is related to specific unit cell.
(ii) The atom present at the centre of body do not shared any part of neighbouring atom, so the whole atom is present in unit cell.
